What Is Your Government Doing For Emergency Preparedness

Coordinated by Pitkin County Emergency Management, Snowmass Village is constantly improving how the government can help you through: 

Mitigation:

Your County and Village governments are working on ways to minimize the risks of both naturally-occurring and human-caused disasters from occurring. 

Pre-Planning:

Emergency Operations Plans are in place and are often practiced by all 27 cooperating agencies in the Pitkin County Public Safety Council. 

Response:

The Snowmass Village emergency team works together 24/7 as front-line first responders in an emergency, with mutual aid agreements in place through Pitkin County Emergency Management. Human life and safety are the #1 concerns in any emergency. During an emergency, you can get vital information by listening to local radio stations, by the Emergency Access System (EAS) on your TV, and by “reverse 911” on your hard-wired home phone.

Recovery:

Through Pitkin County Emergency Management, Snowmass Village government will help residents recover from a disaster, using every resource available locally, regionally, state-wide, and federally
